API Upload Always Zero
Hi
When I upload a file using the code below the file appears in my folder at zero size.
Uploading the file manually works fine. so I know the file is ok
I've looked thru similar old posts but I'm still struggling - any advice??
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
--header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}'
--data-binary @"/Splash.jpeg"Hi All
Thanks for your help.
My fault - I had an error in the file path to Data Binary
Thanks Again

It looks like you don't have a continuation "\" on the second to last line, like there is on the other lines, so the last line may not actually be given to curl which would result in no data being upload. Try adding that "\" back.
Hi
So First I Tried This (Adding The /)
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \ --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}'\ --data-binary @"/Splash.jpeg"This Gave The Response.
-bash: --data-binary: command not found
So I Put A Space Between ' & \ To Give.
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \ --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}' \ --data-binary @"/Splash.jpeg"Now I Get The Response
curl: (6) Could not resolve host:
Both Add The File But Both At Zero Content????
Hi jimbob1977,
What are results from following commands:
host content.dropboxapi.com stat /Splash.jpeg
If the above commands results are as expected, probably you have messed up curl command arguments. Try to put everything on a single line:
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload -H 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' -H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' -H 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}' --data-binary @/Splash.jpegIf some error brings up again, post entire error, not just part (i.e. which host couldn't be resolved, for example).
